IRENA AND AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK PARTNER TO SCALE UP RENEWABLES INVESTMENTS IN
AFRICA

December 09, 2020



“The Bank’s partnership with IRENA will support Africa’s energy transition and
our goal to achieve universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and
modern energy in Africa by 2030.” – Bank VP Kevin Kariuki

“This agreement represents the type of coordinated international cooperation
that is the cornerstone of the realisation of sustainable development in Africa
and the achievement of Paris Agreement goals.” –IRENA Director-General Francesco
La Camera.



Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 09 December 2020 - The International Renewable
Energy Agency (IRENA), and the African Development Bank (AfDB), have agreed to
work closely together to advance the continent’s energy transition through joint
initiatives that support investments in low-carbon energy projects.

Under the Declaration of Intent, the two entities confirmed their wish to
collaborate on supporting the continent’s energy transition under a framework of
core activities. These include co-organising renewable energy investment forums
as part of IRENA’s contribution to the Climate Investment Platform, and
collaboration on the Bank’s annual Africa Investment Forum. Furthermore, strong
emphasis will be placed on concrete support for enhancing the role of renewable
energy in Nationally Determined Contributions and sustainable development
objectives.

The joint declaration was signed by Francesco La Camera, Director-General of
IRENA, and Kevin Kanina Kariuki, Vice-President, Power, Energy, Climate and
Green Growth at the African Development Bank.

Mr. Kariuki said: “Driven by the aspiration to harness Africa’s huge renewable
energy potential, the African Development Bank is today at the forefront of
investing in renewable energy in Africa. The Bank’s partnership with IRENA will
advance this aspiration and support Africa’s energy transition and our goal to
achieve universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
in Africa by 2030.”

IRENA’s Global Renewables Outlook report, released earlier this year, revealed
that sub-Saharan Africa could generate 67 per cent of its power from indigenous
and clean renewable energy sources by 2030. Further analysis shows that the
energy transition would boost GDP, improve welfare and stimulate up to 2 million
additional green jobs in sub-Saharan Africa by 2050.

Mr. La Camera said: “The African continent has some of the most abundant
renewable energy resources in the world and the potential to transform outcomes
for millions of people through the accelerated deployment of a renewables-based
energy system. Renewables will increase energy security, create green jobs,
advance energy access, including clean cooking, and help build resilient African
economies.

“This agreement represents the type of coordinated international cooperation
that is the cornerstone of the realisation of sustainable development in Africa
and the achievement of Paris Agreement goals,” he continued. “We will pursue an
action-oriented agenda that puts African countries on a path to realising their
full renewable energy potential.”

The declaration also provides for collaboration on the African Development
Bank’s Desert to Power Initiative, which aims to mobilise public and private
funding to install 10 GW of solar power by 2025 in 11 countries in the Sahel
region of the African continent.

The two institutions will also engage in capacity building and knowledge
exchange activities to reinforce joint efforts and cooperate on developing
regional and national renewable energy case studies.

About the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)

IRENA is the lead intergovernmental agency for the energy transformation that
supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and
serves as the principal platform for international co-operation, a centre of
excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial
knowledge on renewable energy. With 162 Members (161 States and the European
Union) and 22 additional countries in the accession process and actively
engaged, IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms
of renewable energy in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access,
energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.
